These people don't give a shit about the United States, the one that embraces the principles laid out in the Consitution. What they care about is "America", the one with the slavery and Indian genocide and the Jim Crow and the McCarthyism and the going on offense into foreign wars and the ubiquitous prisons. That's the America they're trying to preserve with all the might they can muster.

Anything that even remotely related to the 2020 election should disqualify Judge Thomas from even reading a brief.... 

Same should have been true around health care where she was also an active lobbyist. Buddha's views not withstanding, Thomas is a legal bad joke.

The court has been too politicized for that to ever happen with a Democrat in office.     

Interesting qualification on the statement there. Do you think a Republican in office could successfully force a liberal Justice to resign over, let's pretend and say, their spouse being involved in a reform-the-police effort?

Probably not but definitely a bigger chance since the GOP are scummier than the Dems and will stoop to any level to control power.

the problem here is that in the effort to pave the way for government officials to have professional spouses, they screwed it up. Instead of making COI rules just run both ways equally and apply to men as well as women, they relaxed them for spouses in the name of womens' rights, but that is a crock. There is no such thing as a marriage where one partner's interests, whether ideological or financial, don't impact the other. Anyone who says they believe the contrary is either lying, single or divorced. COI rules need to apply to married couples - period. And of course, no surprise McConnell is the other huge offender here.
